Radical Faction of the Ionian Islands

The Radical Faction was an informing grouping of radical politicians in the United States of the Ionian Islands that was active from 1850 to 1864. The faction was supported by the merchant class of the islands, as it advocated for completely deregulated markets, anti-clericalism, full citizenship for all residents of the islands (thereby advocating Jewish rights), and supported the maintenance of a strong military. The faction dissolved upon the Ionian Islands' annexation by Greece in 1864.
